Default Help needed from the locals

Hey guys,

So I went up to the Glen this weekend for their Sat/Sun HPDE event. Had a blast and ended up getting signed off into Blue! So happy about that since it was my goal for the year...woots.

The bad news is that I completely destroyed my rear pads. Which really sucks since they only have 4 track days on them (Carbotech FTL).

Anyway, I had to limp home trying not to get on the brakes very hard which I managed.

Problem is I need rear pads ASAP.

So does anyone have ANY rear pads to fit an 04 C5 Z06...I dont care how warn they are, don't care who made them, etc ...basically looking for rears that someone would normally just throw away.

I'm going to change them out to better stuff soon but I can't drive the car until I get something on there.

I'm located in Astoria, Queens. Thanks for your help!!!

-Ryan

at this point, might as well get plane jane pads from autozone or something to get you running again.

Humanoid - thanks for the offer man!

A buddy of mine just came through with some used stockers for me. If it falls through I will definitely let you know.
